InventoryNtmsLibrary Function

[Removable Storage Manager is no longer available as of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.]

The InventoryNtmsLibrary function queues an inventory of the specified library. If the library is busy, RSM queues InventoryNtmsLibrary and returns success.

Syntax

DWORD InventoryNtmsLibrary(
  __in  HANDLE hSession,
  __in  LPNTMS_GUID lpLibraryId,
  __in  DWORD dwAction
);

Parameters

  • hSession [in]
    Handle to the session returned by the OpenNtmsSession function.

  • lpLibraryId [in]
    Unique identifier of a library object.

  • dwAction [in]
    Action to perform. This parameter can be one of the following values.

    Value Meaning
    NTMS_INVENTORY_OMID

    A full on-media inventory is performed. Each side of each medium must be mounted into a drive. This is a time consuming process.

    NTMS_INVENTORY_FAST

    If the library has a bar-code reader installed, this flag causes a bar-code inventory to be performed. If the library does not have a bar-code reader, this flag causes a differential inventory to be performed (slots are classified).

    NTMS_INVENTORY_DEFAULT

    Use the InventoryMethod specified in the library object (see NTMS_LIBRARYINFORMATION).

    NTMS_INVENTORY_STOP

    Stop the current inventory in the specified library.

     

Return Value

This function returns one of the following values.

Value Meaning
ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED

Access to one or more RSM objects is denied.

ERROR_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE

The library is not currently connected.

ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE

The value specified in the hSession parameter is not valid.

ERROR_INVALID_LIBRARY

The library is the offline library.

ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER

The library ID or session ID is not valid.

ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED

Unable to connect to the RSM service.

ERROR_SUCCESS

The function was successful.

 

Remarks

Not present libraries cannot be inventoried.

The InventoryNtmsLibrary function marks all the slots that currently contain a medium in the library for classification/identification. The InventoryNtmsLibrary function returns when all the media is marked.
